Alastor - Blog Posts
This comic is lovely and dark. I hate Vox in it so much! Thank you, artist, for drawing it
The Radio is Broken
Anyone up for some Alastor and Vox pathology?
I guess I should warn it’s short, but kinda dark.
But honestly? I had no idea I’m able to draw a comic that looked like this ;u;
I headcannon Alastor as autistic and sure I can explain all my reasons but this is more important:
Made by Always_Wrong
ITS ANOTHER LIST OF HAZBIN HOTEL FIC RECOMMENDATIONS! Specifically Alastor fics. I don't really read anything else. Also yet again, Platonic/ Non Ship fics. (All on AO3)

Alastor is actually being a good friend to Angel after a bad night.
Soft and Platonic Angel and Al. Very fluffy with angst.
When the Morningstar Take Action by Charlie_W_Hawthorn
One of my favorite Alastor Angst writers! I love all their fics.
So, this one is kinda an AU of if Lucifer was a bad person and had a really big grudge against Alastor. He's a real jerk throughout the whole thing.
Everyone gets protective of Al and I love it even if he doesn't. I 100% recommend. There's a sequel that's still updating too.
Of romance and whatnot by DasIchigo

This is one about Al's Aroace-ness. Angel and Charlie ask if he and Rosie are dating. Spoiler Alert the answer is no.
Love, I'm Just A Sinner, I Can't Be A Savior by HellTeaAndBiscuits
This one is ANGSTY and has a lot of nonconsensual touching. Some of the gang learn about the deal Al made and how he's treated. BAD Lilith in this one.
Here's my first list:
HAPPY LATE VALENTINES!
I present to you a comic of Hazbin Hotel to you in honor of Aromantic Spectrum week!!
(this took me far too long 😭, also, why is Al's legs so hard to draw wtf)
Aro week folks!!
My God, I love all one-sided RadioStatic. This is so funny. Love oblivious Alastor.
Alastor: That is absolutely ridiculous, Vox does not have a crush on me. Angel Dust: Yes he does. Sir Pentious: Yes he doesss. Vox, from television screen: Yes I fucking do you goddamn idiot.
So I know it can be hard to find aroace Alastor and Alastor/ platonic relationships content. But I have put together a list of Al bonding with the others platonically. (All are on AO3)
Escaped By A Hair by PurpleArrowandLeather
Alastor's retreat to lick his wounds nearly costs him his life. Thankfully, Charlie is worried enough to go looking for him.
Post Season One
Mother, Dearest by WritingSoupBowl
In Episode 6 instead of having a meeting Adam tries to kill Charlie and Vaggie. Trying to escape, they run into Al's mother.
You've Got A Face for Radio by ckret12
This one is specifically about how Alastor is Aroace and I love it.
"He's never wanted sex. He's never wanted love. He's never seen a problem with this.
It's taken about a century, but he's pleasantly surprised to discover that the rest of the world is finally starting to catch up with his perspective."
Staff Infection by ItAllStartedWithANightFuryLovingGirl
This one is adorable. Everyone gets sick and Al won't admit he needs rest.
To Make A Skirt by another_athena
This has to be one of my favorites in this list and it's longer. It focuses on Al and Angel a lot. It's incredibly clear that Alastor is Aroace in this one and I love it. Also boys wearing feminine clothes together. It's just adorable and it has some angst.
In sum: Angel is bored so Al teaches him how to sew.
(I love touch-averse Alastor so much)
Good Friends To the Second End by Neo_followthe whiterabbit
More platonic Al and Angel. It has a coming out scene with Al too and that's pretty good.
I love these two being friends.
Okay, those are all for now but I was wondering if anyone had any like these? I love reading stuff like these
I found a new thing that absolutely gets on my nerves.
I was scrolling through the Alastor Aroace tag as you do and I keep seeing people say things like, 'if he's Aroace then why so fruity' or 'how can he be Aroace if he acts like this' referencing to the fact that he is eccentric and silly.
All I can think is, um, why is that important, like at all? I was already annoyed by the fact that people just say someone is gay simply because they act a certain way, that is both offensive to gay people and puts people in boxes, but now it's grown to be more than a frustration.
I mean, do people not see how freaking offensive that is? And it seems as if it's genuine sometimes and even if it's not it's not a funny joke.
What do you mean you don't think he can't be Aroace cause he kicks his feet and drops his wrist? That has nothing to do with sexual or romantic orientation! It's so... It makes me feel like him being Aroace is just a joke to them. That it's more of a silly note the author made than real representation.
Do these people not realize we can see things and that we exist? That, maybe, not every character you find fun and attractive is a gay man?
I just saw a Tiktok where it's like, 'I think he wants a man,' to that one scene of kicking his feet and it pissed me off.
Anyways, I just needed to say that.
This is the most I've posted ever but I love him ❤️
Okay, so I wanted to discuss the situation with Alastor, his canonical sexuality, and fans.
I have seen the two sides alot.
So one side ships Al with numerous characters and sees this as casual fun.
And the other thinks this is disrespectful cause he is ace, or Aroace.
(I believe that he is Aroace. His va said so, his character has shown no interest in romance, and Viv may have confirmed it at some point)
Now, I am sex repulsed ace and I'm aro. And I have strong opinions. Alastor is my favorite character in Hazbin Hotel, he is also the FIRST confirmed ace character I've seen. (This doesn't include subtly implied characters) Because Al is the first and I care for him he is very important to me.
My opinion is really mixed because on one side it's; yeah, it is a fandom, and fandoms ship. It's what they do. Its also kind a rude to judge someone for their favorite pairings and stuff, in my opinion.
On the other side though I'm hurt. I am a queer person with basically no rep. And I hadn't realized how upset I was by this until I saw discourse over this character. I had FORGOTTEN that it was possible to have confirmed canonical ace characters. I had gotten so used to that just being a head cannon. And not only just an ace character but also an Aroace character. And not just that but a seemingly non sex favorable ace character. I would even argue he is sex repulsed.
My real problem with all this is:
Yes, I KNOW ace characters can have sex. But do you know who else can? Literally every single allosexual character. I KNOW aros can date. But you know who else can? Everyone else. The appeal of ACTUALLY having characters with the same sexuality as me is that they would be like me. Cause I and other aces like me never, ever get stories like that. So many times in media I would be enjoying a character who had shown NO interest in sex/romance and would suddenly be partnered up with another just for the heck of it. This has happened SO many times it's not even funny. It's incredibly frustrating.
So, the point I'm trying to make is that; YES, there are aces who have sex. HOWEVER, a large number of us do not. And it's like everyone forgets that. Your not writing Alastor having sex with Angel cause your showing the vast spectrum of asexuality. Your most likely writing it cause it's sex between two hot characters. It's simply maddening.
(One thing I wanted to say was, despite the fact that Al is ace i don't think it's bad to find him attractive. He is very pleasing to look at so I understand allos finding him hot. However I'm not sure where I stand with people sexualizing him. I think I'm leaning towards, 'please don't do it'.)
Now, the worst thing though is when I'm looking for content to enjoy. When I found out Al was canonically ace I was so happy and excited. I'm pretty sure this situation wouldn't make me nearly as frustrated if it weren't for the overwhelming amount of sexual content for Al. Some would be fine. I could just scroll past it if this were the case. But it is not. Content for Al is MOSTLY sexual. That's why I don't believe people when they keep saying they aren't invalidating aces because almost every time I go looking for a fic I have to scroll for HOURS just to find few non ship fics.
I can't even use the Asexual Alastor tag because all that does is bring me to a bunch of fics where the author is like 'he's ace trust me,' then proceeds to write smut.
Why can't I even use a tag made for aces without being drowned in smut. It's so frustrating! Like I'm getting to a point where I wish the authors would stop using the tag and openly admit they made him not ace for the story. Like I know your trying to not throw away his canonical sexuality but I mean at this point I think it'd be better if you did. And if someone is going to write sex favorable ace Al then please leave it to the aces. I trust us to at least weave it into his character instead of stating it and acting like it's there when it's not.
So basically: I don't mind if you ship him, just don't say he's ace or Aroace if your neither of those in ship/smut content. I'm sick of trying to find content that isn't sex/romance in Aroace tags!
I don't want to judge people for liking a ship. But I'm really tired.
ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, I would love to see content with Al and Lucifer. Like them hating each other to like frenemies. It would be so funny.
Anyone have any platonic content with Al and the rest of the cast???
(Ace/Aro/Aroace community when Alastor is confirmed Ace after years of having little to no representation)
To the rest of the queer community:
Yep, we do exist. We just don't have too much to talk about.
But seriously, since season one of Hazbin Hotel came out and it's been mentioned in the show that Alastor is ace I've seen more Aroace communication than in the last two years.
I kinda forgot that we could have real representation at all let alone my favorite character in my new hyperfixation. It came as a shock.
